If you want to stay in a breathtakingly beautiful place in New York’s Southern Tier come stay here. We have 70 acres on a hilltop, down gravel roads in one of the most beautiful parts of the East. You cannot see another house from the property -- just lovely views into the valley and across onto other hilltops. The quiet is a presence that you can feel and gives you a deep sense of relaxation.
The seventy acres is a combination of woods, hay fields, yard, and meadows with a spring fed pond that is wonderful to sit by and offers fantastic views across the valley. There is a dock for swimming, fish/aquatic fowl to watch, and a mini-wetlands at one end with cattails and lilies. You frequently see groundhogs, deer, hawks, and occasionally hear coyotes in the distance.
The farm house is from the 1870’s with two living rooms, tile kitchen with a combination gas/wood stove, rear facing entry room with picture window for wildlife observation, enclosed front sunroom, bath, and 4 bedrooms on the second floor.
The two master bedrooms have cherry and balck walnut bed sets made by a local Amish craftsman. They have luxurious bedding from Bloomingdales--as one guest told me it is more like staying in an upscale bed and breakfast than a vacation rental.
It has a southern exposure for great light, plenty of tall windows to catch the breezes, and the cool hill top to keep you comfortable all through the summer. At night the stars are glorious and you rarely see a man made light.
